Tim's been home for about 5 weeks now, and I couldnt be happier.  I also started a new job about 5 days before he returned home so between the 2 and aidan of course I havent had time for much else.  I feel like I'm neglecting my minti friends, hope no one takes any offense! 

After a very long wait, he has finally been returned to me.  He's about 50lbs lighter  but he's still the same man I always loved.  I am so happy right now!  I was lost without him.

Hopefully we have a good length of time together before he is deployed but thats only a hope as we are in a time of war :(

Thank you to all my friends who were so supportive of me through this!

tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow, you're only a day away!!!!

yes after much agonizing yesterday at the thought that they would not be sending him home until sometimes next week...as someone dropped the ball and didnt do his paperwork....it was completed today and he now has orders to come home tomorrow...

So excited I could scream...and maybe when I see him I will!!!

3 more days, 3 more days, 3 more days...so excited!!!!

Well...I am excited to say, that I have but 2 more weeks until my husband is finally returned to me by the military.  How long he will be home remains to be seen but I'm so glad he is coming.  I have missed him like crazy, but it's almost over...for now!!! YAY!!!!

When he returns it will have been 4 1/2 months in total that he has been away.  I know that when he is deployed it will be for longer than that, and while I am not looking forward to it I feel a little more confident that I can deal with it.

Thanks to everyone for your support...if anyone wants to countdown with me, it begins today!!!

Feeling better these days. Spring has finally come back to us here and so Aidan and I are getting out more and doing fun things together.  I am still having my struggles with him as his dad leaving has really affected him but he seems to be coming around more.  Less than two months and I get to see Tim for a weekend.  9 weeks after that he will be home.  Wish I had more time to spend on Minti but have been so busy.  Everyone here is so supportive!!
Thanks everyone!
Sarah

I feel so alone right now.  I'm completely overwhelmed and not feeling very supported at the moment.  Why oh why did I agree to army life?

it went over so well, Aidan was so good, didn't cry at all, he loved the fact that everyone was there watching him.  Luckily we were able to have it done before tim leaves and i was able to get his God  parents down here.  What a great day!!

Well tim has been home for a week now.  We had a fantastic reunion and have been enjoying each other since his return.   Those 2 weeks taught me that I can do this.  I can be the proud military wife and take care of everything when he is not home.  Somewhere inside me I always knew i could do it otherwise I wouldn't have let him enlist.  Now I'm glad that he did as I truly believe we will have a much stronger marriage for it. 

Yay!!! I'm so excited, I can't wait to see him.  I know he hasnt been gone all that long, but it feels like forever.  His plane doesn't get in until 11pm so I have all day tomorrow to wait.  But I have some things to take care of during the day before he gets home.  I also have to get some pictures developed for his arrival but that is on tonights agenda.  Anyway, off to finish the laundry!!
